Remember
when heavy rock bands wrote songs? In the early 70's, Grand Funk, Bang
and Deep Purple brought hooks and choruses to seriously weighty tunes.
In 2015, Portland, Oregon’s HOLY GROVE walk in the
footsteps of tradition, pitting soulful vocals, searing guitar solos,
and swinging grooves into their own dinosaur stomp.
After
wowing US audiences for two years, the doom blues is now ready to
deliver their self-titled debut, with seven tracks top-full of blazing
riffage, cloud-piercing wails, and enough rhythmic heft to satisfy
today’s doom-hungry audience. Andrea
Vidal’s lyrics of myth and fantasy coast on a massive magic carpet of
guitar licks, kept aloft by a pulverizing rhythm section. HOLY GROVE is
far more than a toe-dipped-in-the occult spring, they produce a
patiently-crafted statement of intent with major love and assistance
from master “engine-ear” Billy Anderson (Sleep's "Dopesmoker", The
Melvins).
